just registered so couldn't contact you before. I've sent details to all at the Bulls so contact them for the best advice, as the most impact can be gained if your walk could culminate on the pitch at a home game. Advance publicity should be sought from every source with press releases to every paper and SKY plus BBC.

You may even get a spot on local area news.

Good Luck and me and my wife will sponsor James.

Thankyou very much Mr & Mrs Jonte

It's all gone quiet on here . Thankyou to everyone that has donated so far .

How much has been raised?

Over £1600 so far . I'm unable to add any yet as still waiting for sponsor forms . Been doing lots of practice walking . Decided that just going for a long walk is a great deal easier than aiming for a distance and actually getting it completed . Walking for pleasure for a good distance is totally different to doing it with the sole aim of just adding the miles . No blisters yet . Thought I had over-done it yesterday , but I got lucky . I am just waiting for delivery of anti-blister socks (should be here in around 20 mins ) and I am heading out in the rain to test my waterproofs .



It's all good fun .( apart from £84 worth of socks lol )

well headingley to odsal was enough for me so good look aha

I underestimated how difficult it is going to be . Am used to being on my feet all day , but that is no help at all . you would be shocked at where you get sores when you strap a rucksack to your back with three gallons of water in it and go for a VERY long walk . Can barely walk downhill atm . Uphill is easy . And for some reason my ass cheeks are sore . ( no i didn't get bummed as i walked through the woods before you ask lol ). I did get shot at by some very nice person with an air-rifle . Think they were trying to knock my orange hat off .

Have you tried those walking poles? They helped me do the three peaks, especially the downhill bits when I had cramp.

Pages 8 and 9 in the latest Forty-20 magazine . A rather large article giving a brief history of James and Andy .

Think this can be cut adrift now .

Had a call today from a lady involved with the housing project that James Olsen lives in . I explained the situation , and she said she is going to have a word with his mum and get things rolling regarding refunds .
